# Analysis of Judge Magazine Page This page contains satirical commentary on 1930s American issues. The "Tradition" section mocks New Yorkers' October moving practices and references Congressional investigations into "recalcitrant witnesses"—likely referencing contemporary political scandals. The top cartoon shows two runners with the caption about keeping one's mouth closed during "passes," apparently satirizing athletes or public figures who speak indiscreetly. The lower cartoon depicts a child reading newspapers while money falls, with the caption about "going down in history." This appears to satirize youth fascination with current events during an era of significant news (possibly referencing Hitler's rise, as mentioned in the text). "Making It Local" section offers general commentary on government relief, farming struggles, motorists, and international affairs like Italian-Ethiopian tensions—typical Judge satirical observations on contemporary problems.

Teacher said ’'d probably go down in history.” Sebi tNl “You'll hafta learn to keep your mouth closed when you go out for passes.” Making It Local N° only is hell paved with good in- tentions—but pawnshops are filled with them. What with floods and drought this sum- mer, the farmers didn’t fare any better than last year with government relief. And the country would be better off if motorists used their heads as much as they use their horns. If Ethiopia loses her struggle with Italy, she will become a protectorate of that country. Over here we call this paying for protection. The recent operation Hitler had was on his throat, and not as some might have expected on his neck. A surgeon has succeeded in making over the feet of a middle-aged woman, it is reported. It’s the opportunity of a lifetime to observe what comes of giving an old trick new dogs. Steamship lines report that business is picking up. It’s refreshing to know we're getting away from the old days when the only travelers were absconding book- keepers. comicbooks.com
